Public school students to sit for centralised smart tests on 4 May: MoE

ABU DHABI, The Ministry of Education, MoE, has approved the
schedule for centralised smart tests for the third semester of the current
academic year for government schools.

The tests, which are part of distance learning and smart
learning, will start on 4th May and will be short and alternate to the
end-of-term examinations for Grades 4 to 11. Grade 12 students will sit for
centralised short tests in addition to the end-of-year exam.

In case of an emergency, should students experience certain
difficulties preventing them from attending the main test, the ministry will
conduct another centralised ”make-up” test.

In April, the ministry carried out an online pilot programme to
test the effectiveness of the electronic testing system for public schools.

The ministry said that the initial mandatory testing was
conducted for Grades 5 to 12.
